Lennie the Miracle Kitty

Lennie is a kitty with numerous internal and external deformities. Lennie hopes to raise awareness about special needs kitties and the lives they touch.

There is no such thing as unadoptable! Lennie was born May 19, 2012 to mama Layla, a rescue from the Tipton County Animal Shelter in Tennessee. Layla gave birth to her babies as she was being transported to her new home at the House of Mews in Memphis, Tennessee. Lennie had two brothers and two sisters. At 10 days old, Lennie and his brother Louie developed a serious URI and came to live with fost

er mama Abby. Unfortunately, the URI became pneumonia and brother Louie did not survive, but Lennie was and is a fighter. Despite being given a 10% chance at survival, survive he did! As Lennie grew, we discovered that he was polydactyl with a total of 22 toes instead of the usual 18. At 5 weeks old, Lennie was again diagnosed with pneumonia and his foster mama was told that he would not survive, but once again Lennie beat the odds! When Lennie was about 3 months old, he was diagnosed with severe sternal excavatum. The rib cage deformity was so pronounced, the doctor was astounded that Lennie had lived as long as he had. Lennie's lungs, heart, liver, and stomach were all compromised. Again, we were told that Lennie would likely die before the age of 6 months. Lennie is now 11 months old and looking forward to many more years to come! With all of his issues, Lennie is every inch the kitten! He loves to run and play and aggravated the senior kitties living with his foster mom. While he must stop and rest frequently and struggles with constant nasal congestion due to deformed nasal passages, he knows no fear, no strangers, and no limitation! Lennie is truly a miracle!

Hello friends! Just a quick update on me! I am feeling better...not great but definitely better than last week. I am going in daily for injections of a special antibiotic for my congestion which is helping me The vet saw some weird spots in my spleen which are worrying her and Mama. I did some tests on Friday to help us figure out what is going on. We are hoping it is something treatable and not something bad. I will let you know what we find out. Right now, I am eating and cuddling with Mama and waiting. Please keep sending all those good thoughts! Mama and I love you all!!

UPDATE! All your prayers are working, my sweet friends! I spent all day at the vet's office getting fluids and lots of tests. The good news is that I do not have pneumonia! Mama said I have beat pneumonia lots of times but I was much younger and stronger then so she is so grateful that I do not have to fight that again! I am back with the vet today but I am doing better today. I even ate some food which made the vet and Mama so happy. Please keep sending all those good thoughts and prayers. Mama says we aren't ready to say goodbye just yet. I am looking forward to my 14th birthday next month! With your love, we WILL make it. I love each and everyone of you. Mama says there is no kitty on earth who is as loved as me and that makes me feel even better. Mama will keep you all updated! Love!

Hello friends. I'm sorry I have been so quiet. I have been struggling. My chronic congestion issues have gotten worse. Vet told Mama that I had some bad stuff going on with my teeth and I needed dental surgery. After a lot of thought, I had surgery on March 12th. Things have only gotten worse. Mama is scared for me and the vet thinks I could have pneumonia and internal damage in my nose from all the congestion and infections over the years. Please send prayers and good thoughts. Please. We need another miracle.

Friends, I mentioned to you that we had been having some hard times here in my last post. We had to say goodbye to my brother, Percy. Percy had been in kidney failure for over a year and Mama hoped he would be with us longer, but we lost him on May 21st. He was 20 years old. He came to Mama from the House of Mews like me! Percy was very calm, sweet, and gentle. He never fussed or caused any conflicts with anyone. Mama misses him a lot. She adopted him when he was 9 years old so they had 11 years together. She said there were people who looked over him because they thought he was too old to adopt. Well, they missed out on 11 years of wonderful. If you are looking to bring in a new family member, please do not forget the seniors like Percy. They have a lot of love and life still in them. We love you, Percy-man!
